7 The DECnet networking protocol was used in many products made by
8 Digital (now Compaq). It provides reliable stream and sequenced
9 packet communications over which run a variety of services similar
10 to those which run over TCP/IP.
1112 To find some tools to use with the kernel layer support, please
13 look at Patrick Caulfield's web site:
14 <http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/>.
1516 More detailed documentation is available in
17 <file:Documentation/networking/decnet.txt>.
1819 Be sure to say Y to "/proc file system support" and "Sysctl support"
20 below when using DECnet, since you will need sysctl support to aid
21 in configuration at run time.
2223 The DECnet code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
24 inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
25 The module is called decnet.
2627 config DECNET_ROUTER
28 bool "DECnet: router support"
29 depends on DECNET
30 select FIB_RULES
31 ---help---
32 Add support for turning your DECnet Endnode into a level 1 or 2
33 router. This is an experimental, but functional option. If you
34 do say Y here, then make sure that you also say Y to "Kernel/User
35 network link driver", "Routing messages" and "Network packet
36 filtering". The first two are required to allow configuration via
37 rtnetlink (you will need Alexey Kuznetsov's iproute2 package
38 from <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>). The "Network packet
39 filtering" option will be required for the forthcoming routing daemon
40 to work.
